Water-cooled casting is a new casting process. It allows even large castings to solidify rapidly, thereby reducing segregation and grain refinement. It has drawn the attention of both domestic and foreign businesses. Heat transfer at the casting/water-cooled mold interface controls the cooling rate of the casting. During the solidification process, because of the contraction that takes place during casting, an air gap can form between the casting and the water-cooled mold. This air gap hinders heat transfer between the casting and the mold, leading to a rapid drop in the interface heat transfer coefficient (IHTC). The purpose of the present study was to assess the effects of the width of the air gap and the duration of gap formation on IHTC. During the experiment, the casting temperature curve was determined in the presence of the interface air gap, and then inverse calculation was performed using PROCAST software to determine the IHTC of casting/water-cooled mold. Results showed that, after the formation of the air gap, IHTC first exhibited a rapid decrease, followed by an increase and then another decrease; IHTC was found to decrease as gap width increased and as the duration of gap formation increased.

Experimental and analytical techniques have been developed for the determination of the interface heat transfer coefficient for nonisothermal bulk-forming processes. A fixture consisting of two flat IN-100 alloy dies was instrumented with high-response thermocouples. With this tooling, heat-transfer experiments were conducted in which (1) the two dies were heated to different temperatures and brought together under varying pressure levels and (2) the two dies were heated to the same temperature and were used to upset an aluminum alloy 2024-0 ring specimen heated to a higher temperature. Data from both sets of tests were analyzed to determine heat-transfer coefficients by using calibration curves derived from analytical and finite-difference method solutions. By this means, the effects of interface pressure, deformation, and deformation rate on the heat-transfer coefficient were established.

This paper describes the modeling of boiling multisize bubbly flows and its application to the simulation of the DEBORA experiment. We follow the method proposed originally by Kamp, assuming a given mathematical expression for the bubble diameter pdf. The original model is completed by the addition of some new terms for vapor compressibility and phase change. The liquid-to-interface heat transfer term, which essentially determines the bubbles condensation rate in the DEBORA experiment, is also modeled with care. First numerical results realized with the Neptune_CFD code are presented and discussed.
